About this test centre

Southampton (Maybush) is in Southampton and runs DVSA motorcycle module 2 tests for learners across the local area. Your examiner picks the route on the day without telling you which, and the DVSA does not publish them. 313 tests across 2009-10-2017-18. That's a small sample, and the single-period rates you'll see in the chart can swing wildly without much underlying change. The multi-year roll-up is the only stable read.

Out of 135 UK motorcycle module 2 test centres, Southampton (Maybush) ranks 36, which lands it in the upper half nationally. The 78.9% pass rate is 6.7 points clear of the UK figure of 72.2%. First-attempt data for Southampton (Maybush) is missing from the DVSA's DRT122C release. It's not a low number, it's no number, the centre is small enough that DVSA omits it from that particular table.

All figures shown are aggregated from the DVSA quarterly statistical release covering the most recent reporting periods available. Pass-rate calculations exclude tests cancelled by the candidate or examiner. Sample sizes and methodology are described in the source attribution at the foot of this page.

  • If you can, take at least one lesson with an instructor who specifically works the Southampton (Maybush) area. Local instructors know which nearby junctions are demanding and will drill them.
